An excellent and extremely good value pre theatre dinner. Very good friendly service. To be highly recommended for going to 42nd. Street as it’s just across the road.

Bit busy and noisy at 7am with pre theatre goers but fine once it calmed down. Not surprising as the pre theatre menu is excellent value (order by 7pm). Food is guaranteed to be fresh and good quality, and service is friendly and efficient (food comes all at once) and you don't get chased from your table for a 2nd sitting, as happens in many other London restaurants.

Food, service and value were as good as they always are in Cote and the only reason it's not a 6 is the noise level.

Friendly service from the start. Not rushed between courses and given extra time to digest a very good main meal before ordering dessert. Reasonable price for a London restaurant. We pre booked for a Saturday eve and the experiance at Cote made a lovely start to our weekend .

A good choice for a quiet dinner for two, providing one avoids the pre-theatre rush. Good food and attentive service made this a pleasant choice. We had booked for 1915, and by 1930 the hubbub had down and we were able to chat for a couple of hours over a relaxed meal.

Quite pleasant but the food generally did not taste as good as the same food at other Cote Brasseries. Also a general comment is that sadly the whole meal is now getting too expensive primarily down to the cost of wine.

This restaurant delivers just what it promises - good food served fast. We regularly use it for pre-theatre meals and although they are always packed to the rafters, they manage to serve us quickly and with a smile. Yes, it can be noisy and some tables a little cramped but knowing you can get reliable service and good food is worth it. Other restaurant chains take note!

Our food was good but service was really not. Our table had been forced into a space that was right in the way, meaning I’ve been bashed in the head about 14 times by passing waiters. My friend requested a very small amendment to her main meal which was not adhered to, her food was then taken off her for another 10 mins whilst we sat waiting and my meal started to get cold. The staff changed mid way through our meal and no one seemed to know what was going on by the time we asked for the bill. Such a shame as we chose Cote over other options based on a free bottle of wine offer I had been sent, honestly I don’t think it was worth the hassle.

Excellent value and great for a pre-theatre meal but be sure to book as the restaurant gets very busy around 5.15pm. The best dessert is the dark chocolate pot on the pre-theatre menu.

Great for a quick dinner before heading to the theatre. However, the tables are packed so tightly together it is a very loud experience. We also received poor service; gave us the wrong food and bill etc.
